Ink Experts 100gsm A4 ‘Platinum’ Premium High Release Dye Sublimation Paper

Description

Ink Experts ‘Platinum’ Premium dye sublimation paper simply put; it’s our best paper ever!

Ideal for use in Epson and Ricoh sublimation ink jet printers.

The microporous coating of this paper allows sublimation ink to sit as close to the surface as possible.
In doing so nearly 90% of the ink printed onto the paper is released into the sublimate when heat pressed.

Platinum premium sublimation paper can be used on all substrates and surfaces including ceramic, metal, MDF, glass, polyester fabrics making it extremely versatile and an ‘all-round’ paper suitable for all sublimation printing jobs.

Why do fabrics require a different sublimation paper for the best results?

Fabrics are incredibly porous.
Therefore to change the colour of fabrics it requires a lot of ink to be pressed into them.
A High Release (HR) paper like Platinum ensures 90%+ of ink is transferred into the fabric.
This results in a vibrant colour and an unrivalled quality finish.
